Hastings Town Number 116
“The September 2017 issue is the best Hastings Town ever” Direct quote from one of our voluntary contributors when he saw a proof issue.
Packed with Carnival pictures and stories and special tributes to Carnival favourite Ron “Popeye” Everett who died recently.
Hastings folk at the War & Peace Revival are also featured, including the amazing story of a vintage motor bike with a Hastings registration.
Rye’s Own, Hastings Town & Cinque Ports have been described as a shining beacon in hard copy publishing.
At a time when many newspapers and magazines are disappearing from newsagents shelves as ‘free sheets’ television round the clock news and the internet are slowly killing off purchased print and even the newsagents themselves, the three local publications featured here go on from strength to strength, thanks to our loyal readers, advertisers and surviving newsagents.
There are many villages and even towns, in our catchment areas that do not have a newsagents now. The Cinque Port of Tenterden springs to mind as a big town without a traditional newsagent. Is there a small shop on Tenterden High Street prepared to sell Cinque Ports? Or outlets in villages without a newsagent who are prepared to sell our publications. Please Tel 01303 814874 if you can help. We can supply by subscription but many readers tell us that a magazine bought over the counter is always more fun to read.
Changing Rye in the 1970’s – A David Smeed Film
Including Bonfire Building, Morris Dancing and Fire at local Builder’s Yard
Another selection of Rye events of the 1970’s from David Smeed’s amazing record of Rye life in moving pictures from almost fifty years ago.
Those of us that can remember look back on these times which seemed so much slower and peaceful.
There are so many more David Smeed’s films, given to the Rye’s Own archive by David’s wife Sheila. It will take many months to get them transferred into a digital form that we can put on the web-site.

Rye’s Own likes to do a bit of ‘brain picking’ everyday. This is your challenge for Monday 20 February 2017.
This seems to be a photograph of a float in a pre- 1970 Bonfire Parade at Rye.
Can anyone identify even one of the people having such a good time, or the year?

2017 War and Peace Revival will not be held at Folkestone Racecourse
A Return to the Hopfields
It seems the imminent house building plan that Shepway has for the area has driven the War & Peace Revival away from the area and back to Whitbreads Hopfields Showgrounds at Beltring.
The show, which was immensely popular for the past four years at Folkestone Racecourse and responsible for attracting a huge amount of trade to the area from all over the country and the continent, is to be staged at Pembury in 1917 and beyond.
A long term contract has been signed which will see the show at Beltring for at least the next four years Continue reading 2017 War and Peace Revival will not be held at Folkestone Racecourse
